58
Q

can be defined as the study of a host’s reactions when foreign substances are introduced into the body.

A

Immunology

59
Q

is the study of all aspects of the immune system, including its structure and function, disorders of the
immune system, blood banking, immunization, and organ transplantation.

A

Immunology

60
Q

is defined as resistance to disease, specifically infectious disease.

A

Immunology

61
Q

Immunology consists of the following:

A

the study of the molecules, cells, organs, and systems responsible for the recognition and disposal of foreign (nonself) material;

how body components respond and interact;

the desirable and undesirable consequences of immune interactions; and

the ways in which the immune system can be advantageously manipulated to protect against or treat disease

62
Q

The structures (e.g., bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes), cells (e.g., macrophages, lymphocytes), and soluble constituents of the circulating
blood (e.g., complement) that allow the host to recognize and respond to foreign (nonself) substances, such as antigens.

A

IMMUNE SYSTEM

63
Q

The condition of being resistant to infection.

A

IMMUNITY

64
Q

IMMUNE SYSTEM
Role of the Immune System

A

Defending the body against infections
Recognizing and responding to foreign antigens

Defending the body against the development of tumors

65
Q

A foreign substance (immunogen) that can stimulate the production of antibodies (immune response).

A

ANTIGEN

66
Q

Specific glycoproteins (immunoglobulins) produced in response to antigenic challenge.

A

Antibodies

67
Q
